hey hey
i tend to like bringing threads on the sports forum about everyone's sports skills rather than going: "man u", or some other team
but anyway how's everyone's skills on the good ol pool table?
mine? ive improved out of sight, ive got a soft touch, if im on, consecutive set-up shots (they are called set up because it doesnt appear likely you will get them in from the position of the white and the target ball) tend to go in rather than just be set up
not a great finisher by getting the 8 ball in, especially if it is position idly in the middle of the table and the white ball is positioned somewhere quite far near a cushion
oh and i hate cushion shots (eg the white ball is positioned right next to the side), they might look easy but try playing a reasonable shot from those positions
oh and not bad with the 'necessary lefty' shots
the biggest key to being a reasonable (ie not getting 'pants'ed every game) pool player is to keep your backswing nice and straight, if you jerk up and down with your back hand chances are you will miscue a lot of shots.
oh and not whack the ball hard every time you think theres no chance of the any ball you have going in. set up, or be really evil, and snooker 'em (for 2 penalty shots!)
